svoboda live, my name is vlasta lazur, let's discuss the most important things for now, like this broadcast, let's get started. russian troops have advanced slightly in the industrial zone near avdiivka, the american institute for the study of war reports. the report notes that on wednesday , december 6, the army is military. russia conducted offensive operations in the area of ​​avdiyivka and advanced to the southeast of the city. russian troops launched an offensive in avdiyivka district at the beginning of october 2023, well , at the end of november , the ministry of defense of great britain wrote that over the past month and a half, due to the offensive on avdiyivka, russia could have suffered the largest losses since the beginning of the war. and the ukrainian military, who have repeatedly turned on, in particular, on our air, note that in avdiivka russian troops are used. tactics of meat assaults,

they did the same in bakhmut. in addition, on russian troops began to actively use kamikaze drones and aviation in the avdiiv district, the spokesman for the district said. well, then we will show you footage of the work of military drones, filmed just near bakhmut. let me remind you that the ukrainian military considers drones crucial for success on the battlefield, however, they say, fighting with the help of advanced civilian models, as opposed to completely military ones, becomes increasingly important. take a look. fpv drone is a designer, a designer that you constantly need to work with and can improve there to infinity. and we need to find a balance, the ratio of the weight of the battery, the weight of the ammunition and the flight range of the drone. basically, if you compare the beginning, when i was still training then, this whole system, it was not perfect enough. now. already looking

at the results, at our results, at the results of other divisions, we can say that we have advanced very far, we are finding how to, well, you know, deceive the enemy, yes, it's all radio electronics, yes, it all works in a targeted manner. based on certain purity, it cannot cover all frequencies , well, jam, so to speak, yes, so yes, we find a solution, how to quickly switch from one purity to another, a military drone is a military drone, accordingly, it is on a different component base, on different frequencies and accordingly for more work, that is, if you move, then move in the direction of switching to military communication systems, and

this type of the future, because the drones that are used now, they fly on civilian frequencies, on civilian equipment, components, and they will live out their lives, somewhere in two months. there are very real risks that us military aid to ukraine will not be approved by the end of this year. republicans in the us senate blocked an attempt to pass a bill on additional funding for the fourth year of 2020, which, among other things, provided for the allocation of funds to help israel and ukraine. the proposal did not receive the necessary 60 votes, which means that lawmakers are forced to return to negotiations again, while the winter recess remains weeks are counted. the main cause, which was expected, was disagreements between republicans and democrats regarding measures to strengthen the border with mexico and strengthen migration policy. the president of the usa, joe biden, who was actually also a member of this

project , called the failure of the procedural vote in the senate political blackmail. during his address to the congress, he hinted that if putin is not stopped, the american military will have to fight. if putin takes over ukraine, he won't stop there. it is important to see the long-term perspective here. he won't stop he made it quite clear . if he doesn't stop and attack a nato ally, then we as nato members have an obligation to defend every inch of nato territory. despite the failure of the vote, both republicans and democrats assure that they are aware of the importance of providing military aid to ukraine and that they will try to find a comp. as soon as possible. in particular, the senators did not rule out that they would have to miss the christmas vacation, however, as cnn writes, it is likely that by the end of 2023 , it will not be possible to find a compromise. well, that's it the kiel institute of the world economy , which monitors the dynamics of support for ukraine, states

that in august-october 2023, western support for ukraine reached a new low, falling to 2 billion 11 million dollars, which is 87 percent less than in the same period 2022, this is the lowest figure since january 22nd, as noted in the institute, ukraine increasingly relies on the main group of donors, such as the usa, germany, the countries of northern and eastern europe, which continue to promise and deliver both financial assistance and important weaponry, however, over the past three months, only 20 out of 42 donors have committed to providing new aid packages, which has become... the smallest share of active donors since the beginning of the war. well, for example, the european union and the usa have not taken on new obligations either. oleksandr musienko, head of the center for military legal studies, joins our broadcast. good evening. good evening. here , oleksandr, our american colleagues,

journalists, you see, have doubts about whether aid will be approved by the united states by the end of the year. quite probably not. how much will it be for ukraine. critical and when it may come , well, the most dangerous moment, when it will be impossible to fight without american help, well, to survive at all, well, i hope that it will still be decided, you know, after all, there are hopes that decisions will be made, but in general, if we talk about the situation, it is certainly somewhat disturbing, because, well, you have to understand, in the end , it probably could not be otherwise, considering that it is an election year in the united states and that all decisions in foreign policy, they will be missed due to internal politics and the situation in the usa, and it is obvious that for us this is a reason to think about who can compensate us for certain, let's say solutions, if there are slowdowns in the situation on the part of the usa

regarding supplies, currently there is no such thing, currently we receive, we are supplied , but in the event that this happens, who can, let's say, replace it and to what extent europe can replace it, it turns out. from what is happening now, those countries, in particular the european ones that you mentioned, in addition to france, they are really developing a plan for what if this happens this time lag, what else can they give and at what speed, how quickly can they transfer to ukraine what, at least, let's say compensate for certain supplies to the usa, that is , this is work that is being carried out so as not to leave ukraine on its own, and why you, yes '. sure that the help will be approved before the end of the year, do you see any signs? i think that, well, i think that they will agree, because i will explain why, because you understand what the situation is, right now the question of financing the defense industry has been raised by many,

the defense industry, in particular in the united states states, well, there they ask questions, this question will be discussed, because they proceed from the fact that they need to approve their plans, in particular. and the plans are as follows, and this is shown in particular by the stockholm peace institute, that the volume of weapons will only increase, as well as ammunition, it is true, now there are more enterprises, we have, at least, some companies, except for rain metal, not only production, but their representative offices there and so on, they are ready to open european ones already at the beginning of next year, and this process is going on, and what does the defense industry mean, well, it is so are those who provide, in particular , the funding of the foundations and the republican party, so these are interdependent things, it seems to me, and yet certain arrangements, i think they will eventually be found, so we can't, you know, we cannot, i'm sorry, influence that, because

that's why, by the way, the president canceled the appeal to the senate, because the issue is now taking on internal contours, and when we're being dragged into funding the defense of the southern borders. we can't say you know, let's go there, forget about the question, just turn it on ukraine and everything, and do not deal with others , so now this moment does not depend on us, and now here is this point about where, strictly speaking, whether funding for border defense goes to which places, let's say, to which points and where it must appear, and it becomes this barrier for us. well, look, in his statement to congress yesterday, joe biden said that if putin takes over ukraine, he will not stop there, he will attack a nato ally, and then the americans will have to fight against putin. please tell me, it was so loud in the first place a political statement designed for an internal audience, primarily for the republican electorate, is this really being considered in the usa, sorry for the taftology, as

a reality, yes, look, the last meeting of nato foreign ministers, there were at least two reports prepared, one was american, one the german one was still there, now it flew out of my head , the one-tank-tank was also preparing, and they all agreed that the risks of a direct direct conflict... between nato countries and russia are only growing, that is , the trends are only towards the growth of these conflicts, and it is obviously absolutely correct and natural when the president of the united states speaks about it, i think that he also knows such trends, he is told about them, told about them, and he sees them, and therefore it is absolutely natural that what should be done in order to there was no direct conflict between nato countries and russia, help ukraine, then this conflict will not happen, because ukraine will be able to achieve its goals, strategic

military, and after that russia will not be able to achieve them and will not be able to attack nato countries, everything is very simple, but it means that in washington is really considering the possibility of a full occupation of ukraine, and having done this, russia will move further, or how they can see it in practical terms, i don't think it 's worth talking about the occupation of ukraine at all now, i will say. why i don’t believe it, i don’t see it, i don’t see it, maybe it’s not that i don’t believe it, i don’t see real practical possibilities for russia to achieve these goals, they don’t exist today, then just how to understand and , what biden says, but why biden, biden is right, because biden says that look, if we stop halfway now and do not allow ukraine to finally help, right, then a situation will arise that either russia will go gradually, gradually, gradually further, but he does not say that this can happen, for example, this month or next year, but this may happen

again if russia recovers and regains strength, a little later, and they will be like this, you know, go, go, go, go, go step by step. i think that's what president biden is talking about, because from the point of view, and he's right about it, because it is necessary to raise the bar higher and talk about real things, and from the point of view of whether russia can achieve these goals now, it cannot, but it must be understood that it cannot achieve these goals now, including because our forces defense forces have weapons that are very effectively destroyed by these russian forces, and these are interdependent things, in the united states, just these days, they announced their intentions to produce both air defense equipment, and repair and maintenance of equipment, and the production of critical ammunition, jointly with ukraine , as i understand it, it was just a statement about intentions. and do you have any idea when ukraine and the united states might actually be ready to produce something together, joint weapons,

and most importantly how, because i understand that all production locations can become a target of the russian army, if only they are not underground, and i will also remind you that there have already been a lot of such memoranda, i will tell you right away that for safety, the head of rhine metal said that , you know, there are facilities in ukraine that, from his point of view, seem protected, uh, well, that is, you understand , yes, that is, in principle, this means that we have moved forward, because now there is interest, in addition to rhein metal, actually from other companies, they are not disclosing it yet, they are waiting, let's say, for the right moment, because this is a very sensitive situation related to production, but the interest is quite substantial, and in the production of various programs to improve the weapons that we use so that they hit the enemy more effectively, these are various means of impression that already exist, and to produce new ones, i think that given

the specifics of this market, we are not talking about everything now we can talk and we are not told about everything simply from what is happening, for example, the pppo systems, which, about which they are now talking about the fact that the beech was adapted by sisparov missiles, the anti-aircraft missile complex system, well, i will tell you this, it has begun , this project started last year. at the end of last year, and we found out about it there when in september in october, when it was announced, well, there are also other projects that are gradually launched, so in this sense, the work and as for production, there are different approaches, there are companies, which are ready, let's say, even to launch production together with ukraine here at our facilities, there are those that are not ready, this is true, based on the safety component, so it will all be of a combined nature, something here, something there, but this is how i understand the plans for some the long

term, or not necessarily, the future when there will be no more war, or not necessarily, no, no, no, no, look, depending on... what we are talking about, from 2024 it is already expected, from the second quarter, an increase in the production of projectiles by individual enterprises in europe is expected, for example and other types of weapons, there are still these programs for 2025, they are designed to build up from one to three years, but from one, where we can say that the year 2023 was included in it, that is, this is one year that is already ending, here this is what these programs are designed for. for building up, there are of course long-term projects, well, we, well, let's say this, you understand that there are, let's say, certain types of weapons that can be developed there for years, well, we are not concentrating on that now, more precisely, we are concentrating from the point of view of that's right, you have to work, you have to try solutions, but there are also operational needs that must be provided, and this process is underway.

returning to aid, we, we talked at the beginning about the prospects of american aid, but here i was... quoting data from the kiel institute of the world economy, which closely monitors the dynamics of support for ukraine, and that is where the experts state that, in general, all international aid is decreasing and that the last three months, three months, only 20 out of 42 donors have committed to providing new aid packages, listen, well, this all sounds alarming, well, it sounds, look, let's say yes, and it sounds, certainly... yes, as it should happen, i will explain why, because those who and those donors who do not have their own production and capacities and do not plan to launch them, they are actually limited to , that they are running out now, well, this is understandable , and they simply cannot jump above their heads anymore, so this is absolutely expected, but there are other donors who, for example, are thinking

about whether or not to solve this issue by opening a plant for the production of projectiles , as, for example, finlandia did. then this is different concrete the situation in each, sorry, specific case, well, for example, if we are talking about the same bulgaria, with which you know there was a situation with armored personnel carriers, which is not very favorable for us, but at the same time, they are also now in no hurry to build up certain types of production, they also remained at a certain level, there are other countries, and if , for example, we take in a section according to statistics, which, of course, only provided to us, including slovakia, including the croatian, sorry, not croatia, slovenia, other countries we haven't heard much about the czech republic, which transferred, of course now, when some of these countries do not have production facilities and do not start them, they will not provide anything, but for these countries there is another option, an alternative, which

is to finance where it is produced, and here there are certain problems now, as it seems to me, because they are in no hurry... to do this, for example, the netherlands does this, the netherlands does not have such factories, but they give funds to those countries where they are, and there for these funds it is being produced, and by the way, there are also risks in the netherlands, which can happen this assistance is called into question, because the government there can change and everything will be there , we will watch and analyze , everything will be there by next year, yes, and everything has already been voted there, i will simply explain for our audience when we talk about donors this means the countries, yes 42 countries, this means those who joined ramstein, yes and if i understand correctly, and here some of them simply do not confirm any help there for the next year, yes exactly, well that is and the reasons are clear, i tried to explain them, that's why what they transferred, as a rule, from warehouses , and where they are not producing now, they

reduce it, to avdiivka, let me ask you, let's move on, here is the active storming of avdiivka bandages... connected with the presidential elections or the action in russia, which will later be called elections, it has now been officially announced that they will take place on march 17, how powerful and powerful reinforcements can russia still throw at avdiivka, well, in order to somehow, so to speak, speed up this process, if they really intend to capture the city before the presidential elections, or do they have such capabilities? i think that they will try to do everything to achieve these goals, and well, let's put it this way, they have already redeployed many from the liman direction, for example, a lot of troops have gone to now they are sacrificing even reducing the offensive pace in the kupyansk district, and they are trying search, but apparently even there the russian command did not

expect that the operation would take so long and cost so many victims, so i think that if they continue to shoot from other directions, it will mean that it is possible that our forces simply can hereby take advantage in other directions and carry out their own local offensive actions, but i have no doubt that the russian troops will try to achieve these goals, because they, well, now there is nothing left to cling to, but here is avdiyivka, to things - this is an eloquent example when the washington post analyzed our counteroffensive and told us that it was necessary to strike in a concentrated manner, well yes, maybe yes, i agree, but on the other hand, look, the russians ... the troops would they are concentrating on avdiivka, what losses they are bearing, and so far the goals were not achieved, so this is also an indicative situation in this sense. i will simply remind you before the story

that the washington post wrote that the american side, the american military advised the ukrainians to strike concentratedly there in the direction of melitopol and cut the corridor between the occupied crimea and russia, instead the ukrainian troops decided to act differently and concentrate not in one place, to direct their forces there in different parts of the front. yes, yes, absolutely yes. alexander, i can't help but ask you about another new hotspot in the world. for example, today venezuela announced mobilization and announced the annexation of the territory of the neighboring country of guyana. us secretary of state anthony blinken has already stated that the united states is fully supportive. and it looks like ukraine may once again be relegated not to the second, but to the third plan, well, if we also take into account the war in israel, after which the mention of ukraine has already decreased, does

this mean that first of all there is another challenge , this is another point on the map, where, where, which can be a competition for ukraine, or something, well, if we are talking about weapons, suddenly the united states will want to support this country with weapons, er, it is quite likely , well, it is predicted, by the way, in one of his blogs, the head of the foreign intelligence service wrote about this, recently, he spoke about the fact that russia will use precisely the spread of points of instability, well, it is absolutely obvious, i think that, given the fact that venezuela has ceased to be frankly interesting to china, they have come to terms with the fact that they cannot do anything there, really have no influence, it has remained there only russia because of... the presence of their pmcs there, etc., etc., etc., so there's a direct connection, but can it deter it to the full extent, i don't think even at the level of israel can

deter hamas, because actually you have to admit, that in the region of latin south america, there is so much happening there that it would seem that it should have distracted the united states a long time ago, but these processes are taking place and the usa is finally letting it go and quite calmly, i don't think so. that even in this case we can talk about the fact that there is something here now will grow so global that it will lead to some extremely large-scale war, in which the united states will be directly involved, and did i understand you correctly, that you assume that this instability in the territory of latin american countries is also behind russia? i'm almost sure of it, because i want to tell you, well, look , what, why, suddenly you are venezuela, which is an extremely poor country, which sits on the fact that they exclusively pump oil, which they then sell in various ways, absolutely ,

trying to make money from it , solves its problems in this way, and now let 's raise in history, when venezuela, venezuela has not really fought against someone very often in recent history, and here they mobilized, and here they are, and here they decided to fight, and look, china... uh, tried to influence venezuela, but they reconciled, because they bypassed other countries, but russia did not stop cooperation with venezuela, even wrote off their debts and forgave what they were guilty of there, extremely big, so i think it's, well, they're the same mistakes made by the soviet union, the soviet union set fire to the same in the middle east, then went to south america, there and now in latin america , look at nicaragua with a left-wing government, which are openly anti... american, there are such countries and the kremlin is also trying to flirt with them, thank you very much for your comment, oleksandr musienko, head of the center for military and legal research, we talked

about the situation at the front. well, they talked about the prospects of american aid to ukraine, and oleksandr is sure that suggests that the aid may be approved by the end of this year, but journalists and some experts have doubts. thank you very much. thank you. russian president vladimir putin visited the united arab emirates and saudi arabia, and there and there he was given a ceremonial reception, despite the fact that the international criminal court issued an arrest warrant. the russian president, which made him, well, practically immovable. russian pro-kremlin media presented this trip as proof that the event failed to achieve isolation of russia and that it, as before plays an important role on the world stage. what does this visit mean not only for russia, but also , for example, for ukraine, because official kyiv throughout the year tried to sway the countries of the arab world to its side. the ukrainian authorities even noted a certain positive in this direction. instead, the arab leaders

are in no hurry to go to kyiv. at the same time, they welcome putin with honors. take a look. vladimir putin flew to oa on a letter flight. such a flight has the highest priority in the sky, and on december 6, when the russian president flew to abu to be sure, he was accompanied in the sky by four su-35s aircraft of the russian military and space forces. putin was met at the airport by minister of foreign affairs oa. from there, the cortege went to the kasar alvatan presidential palace. was met by an honor guard on horses and camels, and airplanes flew in the sky, painting it in the tricolor. such a meeting is not new for putin, during his last visit to abu dhabi in 2019, putin was met with the same honors. kinnawarta, fighter jets over the motorcade, this was before the full-scale invasion of russia into ukraine

and before the arrest warrant was issued for the president of russia by the international criminal court, and it did not affect the level of putin's meeting in ukraine in 2023. on december 6 , he was met by the president of the united arab emirates, sheikh muhammad ben zayed al-nahyan, at the presidential palace in abu dhabi. the russian national anthem plays, the president of the republic of belarus calls putin a dear friend. i welcome you, my dear friend, vladimir putin, to the arab emirates, according to the reports of the russian media, who were there, the leaders of the countries discussed the increase in trade between the russian federation and the united arab emirates. the president of the oa himself called his country russia's largest trading partner in the persian gulf, and its largest arab investor. we are happy

to continue working. with you on strengthening these relations and expanding areas of cooperation in the direction of greater growth and development in the near future. putin thanked president oe for the allocated territory for the construction of an orthodox church and for projects in the oil and gas sector. in public , putin only mentioned the war in ukraine. of course , we will discuss the situation with you at the hottest points. first of all, of course, in the arab-palestinian-israeli conflict. of course. we inform you about the situation in the sphere of the ukrainian crisis. subsequently, for the flight to saudi arabia, su-35s traditionally accompanied the plane with putin. the plane landed in riyadh. throughout the day , putin shakes hands with everyone. muhammad bin salman, the president-heir of saudi arabia, met the president of russia with his delegation, which included, in addition to the heads of the ministry of foreign affairs, the central bank, roscosmos and rosatom, ramzan kadyrov was also spotted. the russian media

note that during the negotiations in to saudi arabia, putin also mentioned the war in ukraine, saying that the west would like russia to be defeated in the ukrainian conflict, but what is happening on the battlefield, according to him, indicates the inevitability of the opposite. according to putin, the crown prince of saudi arabia was expected in moscow, but some circumstances forced him to adjust his plans. but our next one. the meeting should take place in well , already on december 7, putin is in moscow again, holding meetings with the crown prince of aman and the president of iran, discussing the conflict between hamas and israel. olga armyanyshina, radio liberty. here's the story, and while putin was on a tour of arab countries , preparations for the elections were being completed in russia.
